Butler's Food Market looted
The address was recorded in the Harlem Magistrates Court docket book as that of James Marshall, the complainant in prosecutions against three Black men, Nelson Brock, Reginald Mills, and William Grant, all charged with burglary. The docket book also identified Officer Redmond of the 28th Precinct as having arrested all three men. Multiple arrests at the same location were rare during the disorder. Brock, Mills, and Grant appeared in Harlem Magistrates Court on March 20 charged with burglary. Magistrate Renaud remanded them in custody. When they were returned to court on March 25, Magistrate Ford discharged them so they could be rearrested as they had already been indicted by Dodge's grand jury, and then held them on $1,000 bail. No further records mentioned the outcome of those prosecutions. The 28th Precinct police blotter recorded only the discharge on March 25.
